Idol Chit Chat - Milwaukee

After a shocking results show last week (did anyone else really think Michael Johns was going home?)… and ‘Idol Gives Back’… we’re in for another emotional night. David Cook’s brother, Adam, will be in the audience tonight. Adam is undergoing chemotherapy for brain cancer which has spread to his spine.  His friends even arranged for a chartered medical jet because doctors prohibited him from taking a commercial flight. Read more about the Cooks at the Tribune-Star.

Speaking of tonight’s performance show… the seven remaining ‘Idol’ contestants will be taking on Mariah Carey songs.  Who will sing what? Well, you’ll just have to tune in to FOX 6 at 7 p.m. tonight to find out.

Next time you mail a letter why not help ‘Idol Gives Back’ by using one of the special-edition American Idol postage stamps? Click here to check it out or to buy your own. Each of the 50 states will have their own exclusive designs and there will only be 2,000 sheets sold per state. This week, log on to purchase 20 Kelly Clarkson stamps for $19.99. (Net proceeds benefit the ‘Idol Gives Back’ charities.

Last week, Brooke White mentioned she would be missing her sister’s wedding because of ‘American Idol’ rehearsals. But that’s not stopping her family from finding a creative solution to the problem. Her family built a cardboard cutout of Brooke to take her place. Click here for the rest of the buzz from TMZ.com.

The TiVo folks had us all punked last week… saying that Syesha would be leaving ‘Idol.’ For the past four weeks, the TiVo system has correctly predicted who gets booted… based on traffic of which contestants get replayed and which ones get fast-forwarded. Oops.

Who’s going to get the ‘Idol’ boot this week? Tune in Wednesday to find out.

That's it for me this week. Make sure you check out the American Idol page on MyFoxMilwaukee.com for the latest on all things IDOL.

Until next week,
